The Nebraska State Historical Society, in collaboration with the Nebraska Department of Aeronautics in October 1999, contracted with Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center at University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse and architectural historian Barbara Kooiman to complete a Historic Context Development of Nebraska Aviation (1905 -1960), a survey of World War II Era Aviation Facilities in Nebraska (11 sites), an amended Multiple Property Documentation form for World War II era aviation facilities in Nebraska, and a resource management plan for those properties. Kooiman surveyed a total of 103 properties on eleven former WWII army airfields in Nebraska, researched for general context and site specific information, and prepared the above-mentioned products by August 2000.
